Hi folks,
All set now for the visit and we have a full compliment of visitors, plus a couple who will miss the visit but turn up when the beer starts to flow afterwards !!
The people visiting are shown on the list on the very first post on the thread. Please, can you all PM me (or preferably email at [email protected]) your real names so that I can organise security passes for you. Also include your nationality.
The visit will commence at 1400 Local at the Scottish & Oceanic Area Control Centre at Atlantic House, Sherwood Road, Prestwick, KA9 2NR.
Just present yourself at the gatehouse and you will be asked to wait in the reception area where myself or PH-UKU will collect you. For those of you who wish to use DX's taxi service, I suggest you get in touch with her direct to make arrangemnts.
Please bring something with you which identifies you, such as a credit or bank card, passport, driving licence, etc. No truth in the rumour that PH-UKU prefers credit cards so that he can clone them to fund his new seaplane
The initial plan is to hold a short presentation on the unit, before breaking in to groups and visiting the Airways Operation Room, the Oceanic Operation Room, and the Distress & Diversion Cell. We also have the services of one of our FISOs for the afternoon and he will be happy to provide information and answer any questions that you may have, as will myself and PH-UKU.
After the visit, you are free to disperse or alternatively spend an evening having some beers and food in Prestwick or Ayr as takes your fancy.
Any questions, please get in touch.
The contact numbers are 10W Mobile 07740-367200, or on the day contact the Airways ATC Supervisor on 01292-692842 or 01292-479800.

Of course Captain Airclues ... as long as you can park it on Apron P and push it back yourself so it leaves the taxiway clear 
Will text you to say where we will be if you are in town. No firm plans yet.

Annoying this, but sorry to say, am going to have to pull out. So one down.
Aircraft has just gone tech until mid next week (fuel filler detached during 50hr check) and no longer have the driving option, so 16th place now free.
Cheers, Marrtin.

Many apologies for the late cancellation, my car was driven in to overnight last night and is currently not in a driveable state. Grrr.
Hope it doesn't cause a problem!

Thanks guys for a great visit! We all really appreciate you taking the time to show us around, it really is very impressive. The FISO's do a great job there for us, one of them was saying to me that the biggest prroblem he has is people not signing of with him when they change to another frequency. This means that he will start phoning round to find out where we are, adding to his workload. There is a lesson for all of us there!
Thanks again to you both for your time and hospitality.
Look forward to seeing your new place once it is finished.

It was nice to see you attending the Sunday evening Meditation Service Airclues You and your colleagues were exemplary members of the congregation. Such devotion to prayer is all too rare these days

visit to NATS Prestwick last Saturday
Thanks guys for a great visit! We at Edinburgh Flying Club all really appreciate you taking the time to show us around. The FISO's really impressed on us that they want us to talk! The D+D people also impressed us with the willingness to help. Guess if I am unsure of my whereabouts at some point I will be relieved to know you are all there.
Thanks again to you both for your time and hospitality.
